I think I'm in love! I've just discovered this thread and I have to say I'm utterly blown away. I was thinking - "hey these are cool!" - came the bardic colllege and I nearly fell off my chair. And they keep getting better and better. Knid, if you're still taking requests I'm sure I can come...

Just on the issue of dumping all your skill points from one level into one skill and gaining a massive level jump up from zero, how about this concept: From birth to age 25 someone lives inland, they never see a coastline and never live near anything more impressive than a creek. Then they move...

My hat's going in the ring as well. I haven't been writing all that fan fiction and Ceramic DM stuff just to miss this opportunity.

I almost missed this thread! As a true devotee of the abridged Morgenstern I feel it my duty to point out that The Princess Bride has many different models of love upon which to build one's romances.:rolleyes: That being said, Vallerie and Max sum it up best: "Get back witch!" "I'm not a...

From Blackadder III "Baldric, eternity in the company of Beelzebub and all his fiendish instruments of torture will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me and this pencil!" Homemade "Listen...death is laughing at us. Shall we ask what's so funny?" And a cryptic favourite: "Fiery the...

It's an old word and encompasses the notions of mime and acting in general.

I was coming here to hang my head and apologise for allowing work and my sick one year old to interfere with the only thing in life that matters. Now I find that if I just submit something, anything, I would win by default - but I can't think of anything. Now that my life looks to have settled...

The Brothers of Babbage - my life as a steampunk gang banger Hot&Wetware - steam powered anatomical enhancement constructions The Coal Fired Eunuch(sp?)

Remember that a fantasy universe has a lot of inhibitors to firearms which the RW did not have. Even if the magic is rare-ish, you only need a wizard to detonate gunpowder stores in a few key battles over the space of a century and the fear of gunpowder explosions - "damn stuff is a military...

Musket balls are tamped - wedged in place with a material like paper or cloth in order to prevent it falling out and to ensure the maximum seal around the charge (best explosion that way). Immediately prior to the development of the metal cartridge (ie the bullet as we know it in the modern...

I once had a woman at uni point out her current beau, while saying that she "couldn't keep her hands off of him". He had the worst case of acne I have ever seen, but other women had no problem with this woman's interpretation. Whenever I think of the gap between charisma and beauty, I remember...

Anything that draws me closer to the prize! It must be mine!

Ever the optimist. Bump

NoOne vs Halfelfsorc Rnd 1 Pseudo-Ceramic DM Round 1 The pilgrim was woken by the smell of brick dust and a sharp, savage pain in the temple. With instincts born of years of monastic combat training, he threw himself upright from the flagstones where he had been sleeping. Taking up a battle...

Sign me up. If I can't be Ceramic DM then Pseudo Ceramic DM it is. The title, it must be mine!!!:D

Test of the Demonweb – Part V Returning to the main complex, we continued our search of the various chambers. To the south of the gem room we found a chamber covered in a rust coloured powder which it didn’t take us long to determine was in fact the blood of some long dead being. The blood was...

Now there's a cool recurrent villain theme for a campaign, all these death cultists out to get you 'cause you keep cheating their god. 'course in my campaigns only appropriate gods (like death) give out resurrection magic to their priests in the first place. And you can take your gold and...

OK, I should have been more specific. I was assuming that the original poster did not live in a part of the world where concealed firearms are legal. I felt my assumption was fair. By armed, I meant hand-to-hand combat weapons. When it comes to firearms I'm completely in the theoretical - I've...

I've read through the whole thread to see if there's anything for me to add. Nothing much new I'm afraid. I will second Barsoomcore and Fourecks in saying that attitude and confidence go a hell of a long way in a conflict situation. I've been through those "any moment now this is going to turn...

I think Warren Beaty was involved with many beautiful women in the seventies (when the song was written). Sounds to me like you've got the stronger story though, so I go with your version.
